Zeihan on Geopolitics

Күн бұрын

I was sitting on the top of a mountain watching a few guys hunting tahr by helicopter while listening to Peter explain vulnerabilities in the Southeast Asian shipping channels. Something about looking out at the world from such a far flung corner casts geopolitics in an interesting light. 😊

Only countries that will side with Turkey will be Bosnia, Albania and Kosovo, as the native Orthodox population there was exterminated and replaced with Muslim Turks during the hundreds of years of Ottoman occupation The average Balkan citizen doesn't care about the economic relationship as much as it cares about the religious, cultural and historical ones

Romania and Bulgaria will likely choose Turkey over Russia. Don't you think? The Ottoman rule wasn't as bad as the Soviet rule. Actually, Romania and Bulgaria were pretty free under Ottoman rule. Not free in today's sense, but from a Roman point of view.

@@secretname4190 What's with the EU? How does EU matter? It's a trading organization. EU doesn't produce enough weapons and doesn't have EU soldiers. France is the only country in Europe that has an army that could rival Turkey. If France attacked, Russia and Turkey would fight them, because it's their neighborhood. France won't risk losing its military power to defend Romania. France has bigger goals. If it loses its army, it will lose its empire. So France won't defend Romania. Nobody will risk a war with turkey nor Russia. Also they are at a huge disadvantage. They first need to transport everything to Romania. How will they do that? They have to do it by rail which will take forever. How will they secure energy? It's not 19th century. We live in 21th century. Even with modern weapons, the allies were not able to take Turkey. But you think it will easier today? No way.

Mmmm, I don't know. It makes strategic sense militarily for Romania and Bulgaria to side with Turkey but historically there is a lot of bad blood there. I, as an Irishman, know exactly how bad blood can effect policy. My nation's neutrality, while I support it on moral grounds, is making less and less sense as the world changes yet seeing Irish troops under British command in an alliance like NATO would leave a bad taste in my, and many other Irish citizen's, mouths. Logically, it's better to be in bed with Turkey against Russia if the US is disengaging, but would it be acceptable to the Romanian and Bulgarian populace?

Zeihan's emphasis on geography is interesting, but it comes across as strange to me that Russia would still hold concern about an invasion through the Bessarabian gap. I mean what are even the chances of that ever happening again? It seems quite nebulous for a country to target something so obscure with troops to prevent something that right now could never happen.

I don't see Bulgaria ever ditching NATO in favour of a Turkish defense alliance of some sort. Why? First of all, we have the US on our side if anything happens, and second, Bulgarians generally don't view Turkey favourably due to the near 500-year-long Ottoman occupation of Bulgaria. There are Bulgarians that view Russia favourably and would much rather be allied with Russia than with anyone else, but they are a loud minority. Bulgarian politics is rather simple: politicians are in it to steal money and any rational politician knows that the West (the EU to be more exact) has more money to be stolen from, compared to Russia, to Turkey, to anyone, so they ain't lettin' the Golden Goose get away from them by shifting the country's geopolitical allegiance.

I actually think Peter is holding to his "Russia's war to lose" assessment until the Ukes put together the several combat battalions they intend to launch in their counter offensive this summer. If the Ukes punch through and make it to the Azov Sea, then his opinion will change as to who’s likely to win. If the Ukes fail to break out then he'll conclude that Russia will be able to hold the territory it currently controls indefinitely. Everything depends on whether western armaments will truly have a great effect in this new type of war and if the Ukes can execute a combined arms attack.

Yes but what are the facts on the ground in relation to their conquest of Ukraine? Despite their idiotic way of managing their invasion, Russia is still in Ukraine. As Zeihan has said the Russians will throw millions into the grinder so that Ukraine will be strained to train enough troops to fight to replace the dead. You can't fall into the trap of thinking Russian incompetence means the war is over. The Taliban kept the Russians and Americans at bay for decades and Russia has far more to lose than Afghanistan did in geopolitical and economic terms. The Russians are definitely hurting but they aren't done. Also even if Ukraine did push Russia back into Russia, do you actually believe the Russians will stop and say"Oh we're back in our territory guess we lost". They'll regroup and invade again and again and again. You would have to take the war into Russia and of course escalate matters. Short of sending in NATO troops, the Russians will stay entrenched in Ukraine for decades if they are allowed. The war has just gotten started and there's a reason Poland is readying for a fight not out of precaution but out of experience because they know the Russians have a good chance of wearing down the Ukrainians and gunning after them as well. I think it be best you get off the kumbaya train and see that this war is not as over and done as many people like yourself imagine it to be. Russia is going to pick off as many countries as it can and in my opinion Poland is on that list. I think Russia is stupid enough to attack NATO Poland and Poland seems to think so too. Russia isn't afraid of taking us down with them and people tend to forget that little fact.
